Twister went on to claim that the X Factor judge "doesn't want him to carry on working".

"It may be that he gets involved in restaurants and bars but he's never going to do a 9-5 job," the friend suggested. "He's too interested in having fun to want to work."

Speaking about the wedding, Twister said: "We had no idea he was going to get married.

"He didn't say a word about it. Then I got a call out of the blue from him saying, 'I've just got married, please don't tell anyone. We don't want anyone to find out yet'. He told me, 'We are of the same spirit'.

"It was very, very fast but then love is love, and if that's what makes him happy then I say go for it. I've known him since he was a young boy and I've never seen him so happy."
